Description

The use of cellulose nitrate film (CLN) as dielectric detector for measuring plutonium alpha activity of sea-sediment samples is described. Plutonium was isolated from sediment samples on an ion-exchange column and electrodeposited onto a stainless-steel disc. The discs were exposed to cellulose nitrate film. The tracks on the film were counted under a light-microscope. (author)
